A message to Garry and to the community... From a long time player. - Garry's Mod

Now iv been playing garrys mod since i was around maybe 8 or 10. I'm 16 now. Iv seen so many changes to this community. Some good and some bad. The game is going to shit now. Nothing against Garry. It would be nice if he put some more focus on this game because it was basically a big part of my life. its the community, mostly, that has ruined the game for me. I absolutely love this game and it will always have a special place in my heart, just as much as my friend who has recently passed away. I have learned from both. This game has sparked so much creativity in me. Its given me so many ideas and opportunities. Right now i'm actually making my first game in Unity 3D. I'm pretty far into the development process. I started learning how to program with Garrys mod. It helped me understand if then statements and such. Iv met so many amazing people on this game as well who has also driven my education. This year is actually the first year that i'm actually able to process and use what i have learned in the past. I'm so glad this game has been there for me every step of the way. Thanks garry. Hopefully one day the tides will turn and ill be able to see the light of this wonderful community shine again. Have fun guys.

thanks for the detailed reason why this game is going to shit this will surely be fixed with mindreading of the gmod developers

You're just being wistful. The idea of the "old" Garry's Mod is nostalgic to you. That doesn't mean the game is going to shit, it just means it's changed from what you once experienced. Streamers and Youtubers have made the game explode in popularity with younger audiences which lowered the average player's age quite a bit. The game is still quite booming right now, people just change.

Well Im like a lot of people who played gmod 10. I prefer the older version to the new.

Specific reasons?

maybe all of the shitty darkrp servers shipped with gm13

the only real problem is the mass false advertising and spin-off RP gamemodes, Virtually anyone who has put immense time and effort into making an original concept for Garry's Mod after 2013 gets their projects shoved to the bottom of the server browser, and even at the bottom there's still waves and waves of RP gamemodes either not even labeled RP or completely overwhelming original projects. If there was a separate tab for Roleplay that generalized every DarkRP based gamemode into one category to look through, maybe developers wouldn't get frustrated and leave because their 3 year long labor of love averages 2 new players a month while shitty DarkRP spinoffs full of paid addons averages 60 new players a week and enough mommy credit card money to support a minor cocaine addiction.

Come on, the game isnt just a piece of S because of kids. Its still a great tool for animations and posing. And map making too.

If you don't like any of the gamemodes that Gmod players have created then learn how to code and make your own.

believe me, its easier said than done. (the community portion that is)

No idea why you are getting those disagree ratings on your post. I agree with tou, nowadays it's pretty hard to set up a community with something new (not DarkRP)

I've been playing gmod almost every day since 2005- I can assure you garry will never add any community suggestions unless it's from the mods. GM13 was the end of gmod, as it destroyed proper multicore rendering and imposed some network caps, thus limiting servers, and ultimately bring the demise of sandbox, of which the devs don't really care about. Servers in gmod 10-11 could handle massive physics and network loads- now they cannot.

While the game possibly isn't as powerful as it used to be, it's a much more polished game by far. I mean, I'll take 10 less FPS over crashing servers by changing rope length. You act like the devs have just been dicking around breaking the game for no reason. Those limitations were more than likely added as the only practical solution to glaring problems.

10 more fps? Try half of what it used to be. When it comes to high prop builds and things, it matters.

But now some dickhead can't join your server and crash it in 90 different ways that take no effort. Fair trade imo.

sadly barely anyone still makes animations in there. Yes, a few still do that weird and random TF2 stuff, but i mean stuff like dasboschitt, kitty7060 etc. They all are so inactive. for ages
